Businessweek’s Rob Hof reports that Digg will soon be covering more than tech:
At a Web 2.0 panel at the eBay Developers Conference today, President Kevin Rose said that in the next month or so, the popular site–where people vote on stories submitted by others, with the highest vote-getters moving to the top of the front page–will add coverage of world news, entertainment, politics, and more. Major redesign is in the works.
It will be interesting to see how this approach works versus the approach used by sites like TailRank and TechMeme, which are far more automated than the democratic commons that Digg represents.
